Stamford teen charged after sister wanders away

STAMFORD — A teen who was supposed to be watching her sister has been arrested after police say the toddler was found wandering near one of the city’s busiest intersections Wednesday evening.

Sgt. Robert Shawinsky said police were called to the intersection of East Main Street and Lockwood Avenue at 6:10 p.m. for the 4-year-old girl who was found alone.

Shawinsky said officers found the girl unharmed and determined she lived on nearby Warren Street. Shawinsky said the child’s sister, Daniela Mondragon, 18, told officers she was outside cleaning her car when the girl apparently wandered away intending to visit a friend.

Mondragon was charged with a felony count of risk of injury to a child and was released after posting a $100 court appearance bond.
